Yeh they're all listed after 2001.
I guess before that they were just nice friendly charities, even freedom fighters, helping us to destroy the evil commies...
It's quite ironic, because I don't think any of them significantly changed their ideology, beliefs or practises after 2001... Something else changed I guess. Some went from being the recipients of weapons and funds, to being the recipients of bombs and threats.... Quite strange that. Or outright hypocritical if you ask me.
Anyway, note that Hamas (yes the Qassam brigades are, but they're not really a part of Hamas, they're an independant organisation) isn't listed there, so you probably should stop calling them terrorists in other threads.
Besides, just for the record, PKK isn't Islamic, if that was your conclusion. They are Communists.
Also don't you find it strange groups like Kach, ETA, FARC, real-IRA etc. aren't there? Perhaps cos they're not relevant to us... not that more than half of those groups are either.
